Now, who's into 'revisionist history'?
(Sure sounds like you.)
Re: "The 15 Saudi's had long left Saudi Arabia & joined Bin
Laden."
>>> So WHAT? They were Saudi nationals, in-sync with the radical Whabbist Saudi fundamentalist beliefs. Saudi Arabia was (and still is) the LARGEST financer of al Qaeda, and one of the larger sources for recruits.
>>> Iraqi efforts at terrorism over the years, by and large, (they attempted an amateurish round of terrorism after their Desert Storm defeat...) have been failures. He is a secularist, not a fundamentalist... and made war upon several terrorist groups who have threatened him in the past.
Re: "Ansar al-Islam’s base of operations in northern Iraq..."
>>> Don't you EVEN KNOW that Ansar al-Islam is an Iranian -affiliated Shiite terrorist group? Working within a few miles of the Iranian border... within a wild Kurdish portion of Iraq under the Northern 'No-Fly Zone', completely out from under Saddam's control for at least the last 8 years or so?
>>> Geeze, why don't you blame the I.R.A. on him too, and the Peruvian rebels? (Maybe the Contras & Chicago Fire, while you're at it.)
>>> He's a power-mad, murderous, Stalin-loving Dictator... but he ain't responsible for every creepy-crawly in the World. Geeze, get off of it! |
